Railing Repair
Loose, rusted or broken steel and iron railings on porches, steps, stairs and ramps, welded and repaired where they stand.
What a mobile welder can fix
- Railings loose at the base or the wall
- Posts rusted through at the bottom
- Broken or missing balusters
- Cracked welds on stair handrails
- New steel rail sections to match the old ones
- Ramp and landing rails
Before you call
- Photos of the whole railing and a close-up of the damage
- How many steps or how many feet of railing
- Whether it's at a house, apartment building or business
- Whether you want it painted after (fresh welds rust if left bare)
If a railing moves when you lean on it, keep people off those steps until it's fixed. Stair and porch railings have height and spacing rules in the building code, so ask the welder or your city's building department what applies if you're replacing a whole section.
Questions
Common questions
Q.01Can a rusted railing be saved?
Often the rusted part, usually the bottom of the posts, can be cut out and replaced. If the rust is everywhere, the welder may suggest a new section.
Q.02Do you work on apartment and business railings?
Yes. Say so when you call so the welder can plan for access and any building rules.
Q.03How much will it cost?
The welder sets the price. Sending a request is free.
